An Update on My Life

Well howdy there!...fancy seeing y'all here. I realize I 've been the MIA one for a while now, but a lot of things have been going on since the move to The Big D. Some happy and exciting, and some very disappointing and sad. Even though I have come across a few hiccups in the road, I have a feeling they were meant to happen, and bigger and better things await me.

So let's address all the things I set out to do thus far. I have received a lot of inquiry about the interview with my "dream company" Lululemon, and even though I made it to the second round of interviews, they went with their other candidate instead. At first, I won't lie, I was heartbroken. It took me a couple of days to redirect my thoughts and emotions because it was/and still is a company and lifestyle I believe whole heartedly in. However, I understand and have no ill will towards the company or any of the girls who work there. They are wonderful, sweet, and very fun to work out with. Plus, I believe I am doing now,what I was supposed to be doing.

I currently am mentoring under and helping a wonderful trainer here in Dallas. I love her very much and she has taken me under her wing like and angel! Mike and I are both very blessed to have met her for everything she has taught us about Dallas, the fitness world here, and everything in between. 

Monkey is doing wondeful. We found him a very nice vet who absolutely loves kitties. Monkey still takes anxiety medications but I can definitely tell he has calmed down and seems happier here in Dallas.

Last weekend was my TurboKick workshop and I had an absolute blast! For those of you who don't know, or have never heard of it, TurboKick is a form of cardio-kickboxing, set to really fun music. I plan on learning all I can and auditioning soon to teach at gyms. Wish me luck, :)

Lastly, Mike is doing wonderful at his new job. He is almost done with his training and will soon be a full fledged manager. He is truly the most amazing boyfriend in the world. He looks great and has lost about 20 pounds since moving here, amazing right?!?! Also, I even ran into an old friend and fellow seminole a couple weeks ago. Small world, small world...Now only if the Noles would start pulling out some WINS. 

All in all, Dallas has been a wonderful life change so far. The weather has broken the 100 degree temps., and every once in a while we see a raindrop. The state fair starts this week and I can't wait to try 'Fried Margaritas'!!!

 Every once in a while I get really sad, it's hard starting over. But I have amazing support and I know it all passes eventually. This isn't my first move, and I'm sure won't be my last. I just keep telling myself everything falls into place eventually and come what may, I can take it. So if anyone wants to come visit, open invitation!!!! Oh, and I almost forgot...I got those Sally Hansen nail lacquer strips yesterday and now my nails are CHEETAH! meow :)
